    The ability to switch hit seems to be becoming more and more important these days.

    Beautiful finish as I expected from the imperious Leigh Wood. He's a great featherweight after all, I hope he moves onto some great unifications or challenges in the weight above.

    True, Wood did pounce on him really quickly and put those shots together nicely. I don't think Warrington is a take a knee type of guy even if he did have time though. He's a very proud and tenacious guy.

    :lol:

    Agreed. Today's refs stop fights WAY too soon

    Really hard luck for Warrington.

    He got the British treatment and he is a Brit!!

    @MidniteProwler and I are very aware of how a haircut can have a bearing on a fight.

    Kinda, the rules don't say anything about the fighter being allowed to continue because it is the end of the round though, you stop them as if it is 2:45 to go. It would have been exciting to see if Warrington could have put himself back together though in reality. Why not give them the minute then take a quick look at them at the beginning of the next? You do it for swollen eyes as we saw in the support.

    Warrington did seem concussed to me post-fight though. It wasn't satisfying but was probably for the best.

    You can't wave it off after the bell goes and the guy is standing up. You gotta allow a guy take his minute rest

    Those chopping little hooks, like the first one which hurt Warrington, right to the tip of the chin, can do serious damage even if you've got a real sturdy beard. They don't even have to be that hard.

    An absolutely incredible finish from Wood in a fight that looked like it was only going one way and that way was Warrington becoming a 3 x world champion.

    Wood has zero quit in him and packs an equaliser. He is TV gold.

    The fight v Conlan, gaining revenge over Lara and then doing that tonight.

    Brilliant to watch and I hope he gets a big money spinner before retirement.

    I'm not gonna lie I have the same kind of hair and some decent skills, maybe I should harness this power granted to me through my curly-haired-****edness.

    I didn't realize the bell had rung. OK, terrible stoppage
